Hi. Couple is SC Chinese + Foreigner (NOT PR) Other race. Understand that the SC Chinese spouse will be the sole owner of the resale HDB flat, and the Foreigner Other spouse will be listed as essential occupier.

Question is: if the HDB Resale flat can only be sold to Malay or Indian/Other races, can this couple buy? Since the "Other" race Foreigner is not a PR. Thanks.

Hi,

In this case, this particular couple won’t be eligible to purchase the flat as the main applicant is a Chinese.

Good morning Sir/ Mdm,

Yes you guys ARE ELIGIBLE TO BUY the unit under indian or others as your FOREIGN spouse is under other race even though owner is a chinese. Your family nucleus is not solely chinese, its chinese and indian/others.

You guys can send a feedback form or call resale HDB hotline to clarify.

But do take note that you guys most likely have to sell back to non chinese buyers in future.

Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

YT Tan

Dear sir/mdm,

You may submit your resale application under Indian/Others race since it is a mixed race marriage. YT has brought up a valid point for consideration that in the long run, if you decide to sell, you may face a similar situation where there will be ethnic restriction in place which could affect the price you get from the sale.

Hi,

1) The buying owner's race is used to determine whether he/she meets the quota restriction imposed by the HDB.
2) For your case, since the SC is Chinese and only the SC is the sole owner. Therefore you will have to buy those HDBs that are eligible for Chinese.
3) Your spouse's race is not taken into consideration in your case.
4) Although your spouse is listed as an essential occupier, his/her race is not taken into consideration in this purchase.

Hope the above answer your main concerns, but if there are more query, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Hi,

Yes HDB will let u select if you want to buy under "Chinese"-your ethnic group or "others"-your spouse's ethnic group. However, if you choose to buy under "others" now, take note that when you want to sell the flat later you will most likely face the same ethnic restriction.

Hope this helps,

May I know which area you are looking at? I would be glad to assist you in your purchase

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--
